I for one really didn't hate Snape for what he did to Dumbledore.
At least not until we see this act of his thoroughly explained in
the next book. But my theory is that Snape only killed Dumbledore
because Snape is human. He knows what the penalty is for breaking
an Unbreakable Vow and that is his life. True, that's very selfish
of him to think about his own skin but really, we would've thought
about our own skins when we are in the same situation right?
